SEO is dead in 2013 when EMD stopped working.It is like saying SEO is dead!
posting and views stories currently working fine.Is Instagram comment / like / dm automation still effective? Is it still possible?
Yes, need to learn code to be ahead of others. For example mass view stories was good way to get traffic but when popular bots added this function - IG updated and it stopped working like before.I will give you a short workflow that summarizes how to be successful in automation:
1.Learn to code
2.Create bot
3.???
4.Fail
5. Learn to code
6.Create bot
7.???
8.Fail
9.Learn to... etc
Keep doing this till Fail turns into Profit.
